• Great Software, No Malware

  HiTekRedNek5/28/2017

  Pros

  Very versatile photo editor. Haven't had any problems with malware, but I downloaded my copy straight from NCH Software and not a third party software distributor that will slip in some unwanted programs, if you do not pay attention to the installation and uncheck any boxes containing software that you do do not want.

  Cons

  It cost money after a brief trail period, but you shouldn't expect anything in life to be free.

  Summary

  If you subscribe to the NCH email, they put the software on sale that really makes it an affordable option to Photoshop.

• I got this for photomosaics, and it does a great job.

  Naljorpa3/27/2016

  Pros

  Feature-filled and excellent for the price, this was a great purchase. I bought it for the photomosaic capability, but I find it great and easy to use for other purposes as well. Well worth the small price!

  Cons

  None that I have found.

• Extremely functional, not complete.

  9/16/2015

  Pros

  1. Easy to learn and use ( as are all NCH suite products ). 2. Capable of All BASIC photo editing necessities of a home user. 3. User friendly when it comes to managing multiple images. 4. Well integrated with other NCH suite products such as VideoPad Video Editor.

  Cons

  1. Incomplete. As far as both home use and professinal use, it does not provide All needed functions. 2. It takes considerable practice to acquire productive speed in case of large scale editing.

  Summary

  As far as home use, a cup of coffee and a few hours go, this product is all you need to QUICLY edit your photos all the way from basic editing to halfway through all you would do at home with a photo or image. For home use I STRONGLY RECOMMEND the NCH product suite, Especially for it's ease of learning and use. As a side note, after I have acquired NCH VideoPad VideoEditor, it took me no more than one week to produce very high quality amateur YouTube editing. Products such as those from more acclaimed software developers have proven taking a way longer trial and error to get a good grip on. As far as personal opinion goes, NCH suite products have as main quality the ease and quickness with wich an unexperienced new user of such products can begin obtaining great results. User friendly and intuitive, but sadly incomplete. For the beginning, you cannot go wrong with NCH product suite, but after a while, you will be sadly forced to move on to software that provides more options in the same editing group, not to be forced to use 3 or 4 programs to edit the same picture. Overall, a GREAT home use product ! Sadly, the fifth star is lacking strictly because the limitation as number of options. If NCH resolves to add All possible options as far as non-professional use goes in further updates, this editing suite has real potential to become one of the market leaders. Two thumbs UP !

• Horrible software, that leaves malware all over

  jbattelle8/5/2015

  Pros

  No benefits.

  Cons

  DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS SOFTWARE!! NCH is well known to include malware and spyware in their installation packages. You will never get this stuff off your PC, without a drive wipe. Shame on CNET for allowing these thugs to allow their software to be downloaded. Losing my trust in CNET lately, will stop downloading from this site from now on.

• Nice application

• Over-all does what you need it to do.

  kentgose3/16/2015

  Pros

  You don't need a college course to learn it!!!! I am including with family photos and the photo album program for future generations. Works that well and on a thumb drive. Doesn't have to be installed on C:\drive.

  Cons

  would like universal save (no drive Letter) for save to what ever storage the program is on.

  Summary

  Most people don't need photo shop. You do need a program and a company that will keep your program current no matter what the future operating systems may be. This one seems to do just that.

• Useful enough.

  dslecker3/9/2015

  Pros

  Can be used to reduce the large size photos taken with digital cameras - my primary use. Quite a few functions - a (very) poor man's version of Photoshop.

  Cons

  Wasn't aware of its cost or possible lack of functionality until after downloading and using for a few days. Make this information available up front. Of course, I could have missed it.
